Today, I took my new iPhone into a technician to complain that when people called me, the audio was very quiet and muffled. Convinced it was a fault, I demanded a replacement. That is when he peeled off the factory issued protective screen that covered the ear piece. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." FML
Today, my iPod came back from repair and still had a distorted sound. I've been through calls, meetings, and repairs with Apple since Christmas, and it still sounds like the half speaker in my old car. Then I found out the new Nano requires you to push the headphones plug in harder. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because I wouldn't give her a new iPhone 5 for free to replace her broken Nokia, which she threw out the window in "blind rage". I felt awful having to thank her for calling. Sadly, this is a daily event. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML
Today, on an important call with a potential employer, he began to speak quieter and quieter until I couldn't hear him at all. When I finally hung up after waiting for 5 minutes, I realized that I had been pressing down on the volume button. FML
Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Nothing wrong with people bringing products back for help, even for something seemingly obvious like this. But it's when they're 'sure it's a fault' and 'demand a refund/replacement' that they look like total idiots and end up causing conflict and ruining a salespersons day. Accept that you're not an expert and ask for help, don't be a wanker.

That's weird. They don't usually cover the earpiece. So technically, it is a fault.

At a stretch you could argue a fault with the screen cover but judging by the feedback on this page I'd wager the cover it comes with does indeed cover the speaker

People just aren't problem solvers now-a-days are they? I try to figure out on my own what's wrong with my phone before I take it to an IPhone store. I dropped my IPhone in peanut butter and screwed up the microphone and speaker but I figured out how to get the peanut butter out with rubbing alcohol. No point going to the iPhone store for things you can easily fix yourself.
